A Play Space Handmade by Children... Ulsan Village Education Community Creates Adventure Playground

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, trainee reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The sound of children's laughter echoes in Jinae-ri, Sangbuk-myeon, Ulsan.

The Ulsan Office of Education has created a play space exclusively for children.

The Ulsan City Office of Education's village after-school program "Playing Hide and Seek with Children" has built an adventure playground and operates various projects for children.

The village after-school program "Playing Hide and Seek with Children" received the site free of charge with the help of Park Yong-woon, chairman of the Ulsan Gilcheon General Industrial Complex Council.

Efforts to create the play space are supported by the Ulsan City Office of Education's distinctive village school project, the Ulsan Public-Private Cooperation Support Center's "Citizen Open Lab" project, and appropriate technology support from the Bamboo Playground Social Cooperative.

The adventure playground consists of play facilities and spaces such as a cloud ladder, maze, slide, and sand mountain, all designed and arranged by the children themselves.

At the playground, youth-led projects are underway, including a woodworking class where children can freely practice woodworking and learn appropriate technology, small concerts, large cooperative painting works, and international cultural understanding lectures.

"Playing Hide and Seek with Children" was organized to raise awareness of the importance of play and playgrounds in children's growth, to understand children's play needs, and to provide opportunities for parents to play with their children.

The playground has been open since November to nearby village educational communities and students.

Jo Eon-ju, representative of "Playing Hide and Seek with Children," said, "We hope that this privately-led adventure playground, the first attempt in Ulsan, will serve as an opportunity to focus interest on play and playgrounds."
